Key Benefits

✦

Natural precursor to retinol (β-carotene)

Beta-carotene converts to retinol in the skin, supporting renewal and improving texture. A milder option for retinoid action without irritation.

◈

Powerful antioxidant protection

Carotenoids neutralize free radicals and protect cell DNA from UV damage and oxidative stress.

✧

Natural healthy tone

Carotenoids accumulate in the skin and provide it with a warm healthy tone — a natural "inner" tanning effect.

Carotenemia
